The Importance of Music

Music is universal. It encapsulates the feelings, emotions, and bonds of the human condition. But the functions of music are more involved in our lives than we may think. 

Because humans have a large set of emotional experiences, music can have an impact on the way we feel. It can comfort us and even help us regulate our emotions.

Many people say that music can help them concentrate. Some say it helps them relax. Others find that certain types of music help with creativity or physical activity!

And did you know - the heart rates of individual singers in a choir change as they sing together. In fact, their heart rates become synchronized and fall into a shared rhythm!
